– Sorry for the late update. I probably won’t be posting the next page till late Monday or Tuesday, because…

– I’ll be at Emerald City in Seattle all weekend long. Find me at the Dubious Company booth with Ben Hsu. That’s booth Q-10 in the artist alley. Look for a big Medusa sign! I’ll have Season 2 books, coloring books and some other cool stuff. I’ll also be doing sketches for anyone who wants one. And if you haven’t gotten your Season 2 Kickstarter reward yet, come by and pick it up!

– Speaking of Season 2, Cosmic Monkey Comics in NE Portland is hosting a Modest Medusa signing on Saturday the 9th at… lets say 5pm. We’ll be going out for food an drinks afterwards, so come by and hang out!

– Kickstarter rewards are still shipping out slowly. I think we mailed three this week! Sorry for the delay everyone. Between Wizard World, Emerald City and actually drawing the comic I haven’t had a lot of extra time. Your stuff is coming. Eventually. I swear to god!

– My downstairs neighbor Sydney (who is about 8) has been keeping up with the current storyline and was pretty shocked by the last strip. She made a drawing about it (featuring me):

That’s some loyalty. She became something he despised (though it seems as though she became it in the process of trying to save him), and still he came back, even if only to check she was okay.
Maybe he didn’t realize the price she paid o save him, which makes her that much more awesome to me as well. Selflessness.
Manly tear and such.

nah. i always have been reading. just not commenting. the art is good as is the story. just havent found the right thing to be cliche about here… 😛
but really i still like it a lot.
also i cant move to the west coast… gotham needs me!

I think this is the closest I have ever seen in a webcomic or pretty much else where a character becomes dedicated to someone who is destined to be a lost cause. I raised the point in a roleplay i’m part of where we met a stone with a human face that talks. Me and another player have begun a discussion on how sad that is. It leaves me to think of things like Fatal Frame. Where the brother chose to stay behind with the bound girl. Not because he loved her. But because he didn’t believe anyone should be forever alone like that. I’ve often hoped to be able to create or play a character willing to sacrifice everything for love or friendship even if it can never be reciprocated.

That’s hard thing to play, especially because it requires another player to buy into it equally as much. A lot of rp groups are scared off by that kind of thing, and a lot of game systems just have absolutely no structure for it. Not that you need an rp group in the traditional “sit around the table” sense or a game to get a good rp, but I think that’s the kind of situation that many role players find themselves in.

Gah, it’s been a while since I posted. Love the steady improvement of the art, and the new story progression! I’m surprised no one has sent guest filler featuring Indiana Jones meeting Modest, or Samuel L Jackson (I am sick and tired of these…). Maybe I’ll have to bust out the Inkling and do it myself. keep up the awesome work!

Okay, all caught up now! Strange.. it would seem that the auto update for this comic stopped for three whole weeks. Looks like I’ll have to just flip forward manually from now on. ^-^ Thanks for letting me know!
